The Avalanches have shared a new song “Interstellar Love” featuring Leon Bridges, that will arrive on the duo’s upcoming We Will Always Love You, scheduled to release on December 11.

The space-age pop track features a prominent sample of “Eye In The Sky” by London prog-rock band The Alan Parsons Project. EMI Music’s head of A&R Mark Holland described the surprising route to its clearance in a press release: “When I first heard the Alan Parsons sample in the original demo, all I could do was shake my head. This sample will be impossible to clear, the paperwork will be endless, and the cost prohibitive. But…I love the band and their message, I love Leon, and so…we decided to try. In the end, Alan Parsons Project were very good about it.”

The song is inspired by astronomer partners Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan, who compiled recordings to be sent into space for the Voyager Interstellar Message Project, as per co-lead songwriter Robbie Chater. As mentioned, the song features vocals by Leon Bridges, who croons about a love that defies space, time, and gravity. “Leon is an incredible singer, with just the most beautiful voice. He’s from Texas but we both happened to be in L.A. at the same time, which was lucky as he was on my all-time wish list,” said Robbie.
